Re: [LM_NET] Target: Math in the Library

[Nancy Voltmer <voltmer@NETINS.NET>]

Cheryl,
   We are incorporating math in all classes.  During
Information Literacy I mention terms, but don't plan
entire lessons. Some include:
    1.  When talking about the Dewey decimal system
students read the numbers aloud mathematically. 567.8
become five hundred sixty seven and eight tenths  Later we
move to 567 point 8
    2.  With Dewey numbers again we use less than and
greater than   398.2 is greater than 398.02
    3.  The perimeter of the library is lined with
bookcases.
